Brackets is not the richest of IDEs, but for web page development it gets the job done in a lean and attractive way, made more powerful by the number of available extensions. Gets my vote.
Agree, but I'd use perl. sed is hard to use in selecting what files to change. sed is ideal in simple replacements or pipes
FWIW My fav IDE is the shell. tcsh to be precise
Ah, but sed is designed to be used in a pipeline, there's a myriad ways to select the files to feed to it. I agree that perl is a great language (after all, it is by Larry Wall who was also responsible for config and patch) although I have seldom used it.
I was an awk aficionado in the late eighties and, having read an article on perl I compiled it on my SysVr2 machine only to have it segfault whenever I tried to use it. Many years later I played with it for a while on my Linux systems, but was using other tools by then.
For those pythonistas who look down on perl (I have encountered them) it's worth reminding them that early web applications were built on the back of perl cgi
Having migrated from the original Bourne shell to ksh, I couldn't get on with csh, so having tarried a while with the default bash (pretty good) I've been using zsh for a dozen years or so. That *really* makes selecting files to work with simple.
I think the whole JetBrains product bundle should be on point,
since it is basically the same underlying code/IDE. WebStorm, IntelliJ Rider, WebStrom, RubyMine, Pycharm , CLion, GoLand, DataGrip, .....
